MPW Summer School offers students the opportunity to study an innovative, high-quality academic programme and experience the very best of British culture. MPW Summer School combines an exciting academic stream, innovative workshops, fulfilling enrichment activities, and a fun-packed schedule of social events.

This expertly designed programme allows students to explore future careers and traditional academic subjects in refreshing new ways, while equipping them with essential life skills such as public speaking and conflict resolution.

Location - MPW London is in the heart of South Kensington, one of the most exclusive and affluent parts of the capital. Both the college and the boarding accommodation, Queen’s Gate House, are situated on the same street. Students are just moments away from world-famous academic and cultural attractions, including museums, galleries, and historic landmarks. All rooms are single en-suite with air conditioning.

Academic Programme - MPW London Summer School features eight exciting academic streams. Students choose one stream to study for the two-week duration:

· Architecture

· Art and Design

· Business, Finance and Economics

· Computing, Robotics and AI

· Medicine and Sciences

· Physics and Engineering

· Politics and Law

· Psychology and Sociology

At MPW Summer School, classes are a maximum of ten students. This small-group approach makes it easy to ask questions and ensures teachers can provide individual attention. Small classes encourage collaboration and engagement, creating a supportive and focused learning environment.

My Path; My Way - Alongside academic study, students take part in My Path; My Way, an innovative collection of courses designed to equip them with essential skills for success in education and life. Built around three core pillars: cognitive, interpersonal, and

intrapersonal skills, the workshops help students sharpen critical thinking, enhance powers of persuasion, and build emotional intelligence, while developing resilience and self-awareness. Through interactive lessons and practical workshops, students learn to think strategically, communicate effectively, and thrive in a range of situations.

Enrichment - MPW Summer School includes enrichment opportunities such as industry field trips and weekly lectures taking place on a university campus, delivered by academics from leading UK universities. Guest speakers share insights from their fields, and a university preparation workshop provides guidance on applications and future study. These activities are designed to broaden knowledge and support students’ academic and career goals.

Social and Leisure - Away from the classroom, a summer with MPW is both fun and enriching, with activities to suit every interest. A mix of UK and international students provides the perfect environment to learn about different cultures, improve your spoken English and make friends. You can look forward to a wide range of exciting cultural and social activities. These include trips to museums, galleries, and theatres, as well as activities such as walking tours, bowling, park games, shopping and karaoke.

A summer at MPW London is unique, unforgettable, and transformative.
